Message: <blockquote data-quote="Goddess FallenAngel" data-source="post: 2467216" data-attributes="member: 11434">I've been playing the same 3.5 Forgotten Realms campaign with my roommate and fiancé for about a year. My fiancé DMs, and I and my roommate play.Well, up until recently, I've highly enjoyed the game. There's been a lot of RPing and political-type intrigue, with the occasional battle thrown in for good measure. We’ve spent  whole 10 hour game sessions RPing, and been happy about it.Background Information:[sblock]We’ve recently been sent on a trip to the Underdark. Not a big deal, even if it did consist of more hack ‘n’ slash than I usually enjoy. And it was still interspersed with some roleplaying, so it was alright.However...Along the way, we picked up two more players, and thus, two more characters. I was happy – they are great roleplayers, are fun to hang around, and their characters fit into the existing group (if you could call 2 characters a group). We got sent on a mission to the Planes from the Underdark, which afforded more roleplaying – but unfortunately, my character was left out of much of it, because it took place on a Plane she couldn’t go to (long story). I was okay with this, as I knew the drawbacks when I made my character.Now, we are back on the Prime Material Plane, and out of the Underdark – and about to go on a dungeon-delve to recover some artifacts to use to fight the current BBEG in the game.[/sblock]Frankly, I’m just not looking forward to another hack ‘n’ slash portion of the game. I’m playing a rogue3/cleric8, who is currently struggling with faith in her Goddess, and the fear that she’s been tainted into unknowingly serving her Goddess’ arch-enemy (cleric of Tymora, beginning to suspect that Beshaba has been granting her spells for a while now). I’m finding it hard to roleplay that struggle out with “Oh, I cast XXXX” or “I attack with my rapier” or “I check for traps”, especially with the two new characters/players that don’t know the background of the campaign.Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can overcome my growing boredom? BTW – the DM knows my feelings about dungeon crawls, and in addition recently the DM sat down with the players and he explained what he was planning for the next portion of the game, to see if that would be okay with everyone. Everyone was somewhere on the neutral to happy scale, while I was on the ‘dislike’ side of neutral. He said he was going to try to think of how to “make a dungeon crawl not a dungeon crawl” so as to try to please everyone, but recently confided in me that he was having difficulty doing so.I want to continue with this game and group, so please don’t give me advice to ‘find a new group’ – that’s not what I’m asking for. I just want advice on how to continue through this current section of the game, and get back to the main storyline.</blockquote>
